Would anybody happen to know how a terminal identifies its "keyboard type"
(e.g., USB=US national, UKB=UK national, USI=US multinational) to the
host?

I'm guessing it's through the QUERY function of the Write Structured Field
command, presumably in the KEYBOARD ID and EXTENDED KEYBOARD ID fields,
but I can't find any docs on how the information is encoded.
